Why do people consider the dog to be their "friend", and kill and eat their"mother" the cow ?
According to Vedic culture, the cow is one of seven sacred mothers, including, Mother Earth, our birth Mother, the Nurse, etc.... WIth a cow, and an acre of land, one can live self-sufficintly, off the grid, and not have to participate in the madness of consumerism, the exploitation and death of citizens of other countries for their resources. Cow dung has a higher combustibility than wood or coal, used as a free and natural fuel, from milk, butter cheese, yogurt, can be produced for valuable nutritional content. Clarified butter is an amazing medicine that has been used in Ayurvedic natural healing for millenia to cure everything from a coma, to blindness. Considering all of these contributions, how can people be so brain dead to think that the dog is a better friend than the cow ? People in China are looked down upon as heartless to eat their dogs, yet in many other parts of the world we think it is "normal" to kill and eat the cow ??!?!?!

Just like everything else, we Americans are inconsistent. We love furry animals that respond to us and do cute human-type things. But other animals who aren't so cute become baseball gloves and dinner.

Ever heard of a cow defending its master?

Cows smell bad. Well, so do dogs, but they're smaller and easier to bathe.

There are cultures that eat cows, horses, dogs, insects, snakes, etc. Our culture tends to lean more toward beef, chicken, and pork as opposed to dog, bugs, & rodents. To me chicken fried cockroach just doesn't hold the same allure as a good chicken fried steak. I like vegetables too, but there had better be something that once walked on four legs on the plate with them or it's just not a good meal. I have no problem with you being a vegetarian if that is what you prefer. Please grant me the same consideration with my choices. Now that I have your email address, I will gladly notify you each time I have a steak so you can cry for the soul of your mother the cow, if you wish.

Probably because there is more to eat on a cow than on a dog.
